According to Kenneth Brennan, president and CEO of The Village Bank, the bank's Auburndale Community Charitable Foundation, Inc. will award a total of $40,000 in college scholarships to Newton and Wayland residents who are graduating from high school this year. Again this year, in addition to its traditional 10 one-time $2,000 scholarship grants, the foundation will award two scholarships totaling $10,000 each, which will be allocated upon successful completion of the first semester of each of the student's four academic years. Each of the scholarship awards can be applied toward tuition, room and board or supplies at a college of the student's choice. Applications are available at Village Bank locations in Auburndale, Newtonville, Nonantum, Newton Highlands, Waban and Wayland, and online at www.village-bank.com. Completed applications must be received by the bank no later than April 15th.
